信州なお: 除雪された道で雪見チャンス! Nagano Now: Snowscapes via Snow-free Roads

February 22, 2014: 季節 Seasons

Snow-Covered Kamesei Ryokan but the roads are clear!

2月は連続の週末で大雪になりまして、道路や鉄道で色々な不備がありました。しかし、道路は除雪作業だ大分進んでいて、高速道路を始め、主の通りの全てがOKです。亀清旅館までの横道は近所の皆さんの努力で除雪になった。長野新幹線は地元のしなの鉄道など、長野の鉄道の全部が予定通りで動いています。

車でも電車でも、今は長野に来る最高なチャンスです。雪景色の信州は格別に綺麗だし、温かい温泉でゆっくり入れて、体がぽかぽかになります。野沢菜や茸鍋など、信州の冬の御馳走も待っています。

是非にこの機会で信州にお越し下さい。私ども亀清旅館、戸倉上山田温泉、そして長野県全体がお待ちしております!

Nagano Prefecture was hit by two consecutive snow storms on the 2nd and 3rd weekends this February. Freeways and roads were closed. Trains stopped running. It was a transportation nightmare.

But the freeways and main roads are cleared of snow now, and thanks to all the neighbors getting together and shoveling, even the side streets like to Kamesei Ryokan are clear. The Nagano Shinkansen, our local Shinano Railway, and all other trains in Nagano Prefecture are back on schedule.

So now is the perfect time to come to Nagano. Transportation is back to normal but Nagano's normally beautiful scenery is especially stunning now with a blanket of snow covering everything. Plus there are the onsen baths to soak in that will warm your body to the core. And Nagano's hearty winter cuisine, with our iconic 'nozawana' pickles and mushroom hotpot stews, will warm your soul.

We here at Kamesei Ryokan as well as everyone in our onsen town Togura-Kamiyamada and in all of Nagano Prefecture are looking forward to your visit!
